Wisdom

God owes nothing to any of His creatures, and it would be an imperfection in Him if He did.

First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.

Don't show off every day, or you'll stop surprising people.

Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

There is nothing in the intellect that was not first in the senses.

Man is linked to the angels, a piacular sacrifice, and a godlike entreaty.

Let no one enter here who is ignorant of geometry.

Man was to be preoccupied with the contemplation of Eternal Beauty and not with sublunary things.

He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent.

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

The soul cannot live without acquiring knowledge.

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

Your God is in yourself.

In space there are countless constellations, suns and planets; we see only the suns because they give light. The planets remain invisible, for they are small and dark.

The divine light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.

Our soul is an image of the divinity, even rationality itself is but the image of the divine intellect.

The degree of slowness is directionally proportional to the intensity of memory.

Philosophy is an exaltation of mind, not a direction of it.
